Great job! Done quickly - and at the estimated price...
Ray rebuilt a carburetor on my ‘72 Ford F100 - and got my truck running better than it had been in years! He said it would take about a week - and I had my truck back in 8 days... He said it would cost about $600 - and it did...
The bottom-line is that he did a great job - on schedule and within budget!
I couldn’t have been happier...

Wonderful and friendly service at Ray Frey Auto Center Inc.
Recently my mechanic in Pacific Beach closed shop and moved on. I was left with finding a new mechanic. I heard about Ray Frey from Nextdoor and was intrigued. When I called with my inquiries regarding finding a new mechanic/auto center I was met with a knowledgable gear head in Ray. Our Acura was very well taken care of and is driving like a dream. He also gave us tips on how to keep pesky rodents out of our vehicle which is working like a dream so far. I would definitely reccommend Ray Frey to family and friends. Cheers! - Zach

Excellent Service!
Mr. Frey and his staff are knowledgeable in most areas of mechanical issues and the shop has automotive diagnostic tools to handle those. Confident that Ray and staff can resolve or maintain your automobile's functions.

Another car problem bites the dust
Once again , the team @ Ray Frey’s has come through with flying colors. I got an oil change, I got smog certified, I got new windshield wipers and a brake light bulb I wasn’t even aware had burned out. All of this with a smile and a very reasonable price tag. You would be a fool if you didn’t use this place.

The staff is very nice and Ray personally spoke with me about my car.
I went to Ray Frey because of a recommendation from Nextdoor Clairemont. The woman who wrote the recommendation said that she had been going to him for years and that they were a reliable automobile repair shop.
I found that to be true as well. I had recently purchased a car and had taken my old car to Ray Frey to see if I should try to repair it and sell it. He suggested that I sell it as is and then said that it might be worth it to go to CarMax to see if they would buy it. Honestly the car had 246,000 miles on it and it was a 2005 car. He and I were both surprised to see that they gave me 2500 for it. Thank you Ray for that suggestion, as I had been thinking of giving it to KPBS.

Works with us
Ray Frey automotive is a very consumer friendly place. We've been using them for the last 3 years for various repairs. They consistently help us keep our vehicle on the road and foresee upcoming problems. However, they don't try to upsell and have you fixed things that don't need to be fixed. I appreciate their integrity
